Be a painter: make images by hand in the 21st century - Paperback

by Terrence A. Brooks (Author)

A passion for the arts such as painting, writing, pottery, dancing or music is very common and, as well, the ardent hope that one's efforts will be enthusiastically received by open wallets. In reality, very few artists succeed in supporting themselves via their art. The vast majority of artists ride the emotional roller coaster of the joy of creation and the disappointment of meager sales in an indifferent market. This book counsels distraught artists about the patience needed to develop their talent, persevere in the face of indifference, manage the economics of art production, market art products and recognize artistic success. It evaluates the digital methods used by many young artists to make and share their art.
